Privacy at RIT

RIT is aware that privacy is a priority for our students, faculty, staff and
alumni and leadership is committed to assessing the critical privacy issues that
impact the RIT community.

Rochester Institute of Technology’s
Privacy Policy
was adopted to clarify the legitimate expectations of privacy by those
individuals who are present at RIT facilities or at official RIT events, or who
use RIT electronic resources.

A standing committee was established for the purpose of providing guidance to
leadership on privacy issues related to Institute business. Membership on the
committee is drawn from a broad cross-section of the RIT community. Questions
with respect to the administration of the Committee or the Privacy Policy may be
referred to the Committee Chairperson.
